injured, by the circular issued yesterday on

nouncing that on and after April l s.no
commissions or rebate OF other drawback"
will be paid for the sale of passenger tick
cts Ito any agent. firm, broker, scalper or
other person." This decision was put forth
from Commissioner Fink's office as lone of
the greatest reforms ever inaugurated in the
railway passenger service of this country, -
but when reporter to-day, made inquiries
as to its probable effect, one of the best
known ticket brokers' q. e. Lansing, did
not hesitate to declare that il was 'sall a
dream :" a business such as he had
built up in the last sixteen
years, was not. he sad. to be abolished
in that way. The railroad companies had
often before declared that they would abol-
ish commissions and cut rates to brokers.
but the result had been like that of the sim
liar efforts in the insurance business. There
were more roads in the present movement
than in the former Ones because there were
more railroads in the country, but the os-
tensible unanimity was hot any greater in
this case than in previous attempts of the
sort. Moreover, after April 5, when the
interstate commerce law takes effect. the
strong railroad companies would have less
control over the weaker ones than formerly

Chips From, the Ties.

It is stated that on April the Chicago,
Burlington IL Northern will put into effect
between ST. Paul and Chicago 10 cent rate
ON grain and its products. This is an adj
vance of "a cents over its present rate, but
8 cents below the agreed rate which is to go
into effect on the other lines. 1t is thought
that this is done merely as an experiment, as
in practice the Burlington s. Northern will
regulate its through rate by the price at
which transit sells at Minneapolis.
The Minnesota & Northwestern has issued
circular to all agents, shippers and connec-
tions, in which it states that all JOINT and
local tariffs. special rates and circulars relat-
ing to rates now in effect, to or from all sta
tons on that line, will be void after April 4,
1887, and that new tariffs conforming to the
Interstate commerce law will be furnished
for use from that date.
The jamestown s. Northern was opened
through to Minnewaukan Tuesday night.
The work was delayed considerably beyond
the time at which the opening was expected
to have been effected. owing to the unusually
large amount OF snow in the GUS, which are
numerous and deep. The train went through
to the lake Wednesday, running for the first
time since last fall.
The Manitoba has issued special wood
tariff which makes substantial reductions on
wood into ST. Paul and Minneapolis, the emf
grant and wood tariffs to take effect in con-
formlty with the new law. The tariff on emil
points on the line is substantially the same.
W. H. Dixon, of the Milwaukee s. st. Paul.
returned yesterday from Chicago, where he
has been in attendance on the meeting of the
Western States association, where an attempt
was made to finally settle matters under the
interstate commerce law.

CHICAGO, March 31.-At a meeting of

Awealthy Ex-Criminal.

New YORK, March 31.-''When all the
facts about Kissane come out. as now seems
probable, the papers will have genuine
sensation" said President George c. Will
Jams, of the Chemical National bank, yes
terday. His history is one of the most
remarkable l have ever heard. Once the
companion of the most noted criminals of
this city. and guilty of numerous crimes
himself, he is at present living in luxury in
San Francisco. The Chemical bank will
oppose the motion of his counsel TO have
this old Indictment against him dropped. 1t
is pretended that he has made good all the
money he unlawfully obtained from the
bank. but that is not true, and is the very
reason why the case will not be dropped
Some months ago Kissane opened commu-
nication with us on the subject, and tried
to have US withdraw orr opposition. Until
that time we had no idea of what had be-
come of him. Now we shall insist on the
return of the money due u.s."

but walked to the station and took the $3.50
a. m. train for Albany on his way to Sharon
Springs. He stated to reporter that soon
after his train left Clark's Mills man en-
tered his car through the side door, saying
as he entered:
THROW UP YOUR HANDS,
Lake did not realize for moment what
was up. and failed to comply with the de-
mand. The intruder thereupon levelled his
revolver at the messenger and shot him.
Lake fell to the floor of the car and his as
sailant said: Now, damn you, when l
tell you to hold UP your hands again you
will do it. won't you?D The assassin then
proceeded to bind the hands and feet of
Lake and put gag in his mouth. One of
his legs the robber tied to the safe. The
desperate then took bunch Of keys from
the pocket of the messenger and unlocked
the safe, which he ritied of its money pack
ages. The amount secured is believed to
be between S7OO and $500. The robber
left the car at the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western railroad crossing. Before leav-
ing the car the robber said: 81 IN you,
if you say anything about this will come
back and kill YOU" The messenger re-
piled: You wouldn't rob man and then
kill him too, would you?n Lake tried to
free himself, but did not succeed. At
Utica his
CAR WAS OPENED
and he was.freed from his uncomfortable po-
sition at this place. 1t was decided that he
had better stop over and have his wound
attended. The messenger says his assail-
ant was large, strong man. wearing
mask that hung down over his chest. His
hair was cut short at the back and his
hands were callous, hard and dirty
Local express officials decline to state the
amount OF loss, Agent Bushnell reached
u ca to-day at noon. He was reticent,
but admitted the loss of $1,000. Other
statements fix the loss at IS, 900. 1t is be-
lieved the robber entered the car near
Oneida, where the grade is heavy. The
messengers statement that the robber en-
tered by the side door is not believed. The
platform door of the car was not fastened
by chain, as it should have been, when
the train reached Utica. Mr. Bushnell left
Tor Albany at 1852 D. m. to interview Mes
senger Lake. The messenger said to some
one that he was sitting at his open safe
when attacked. His description of the rob-
Der tallies perfectly with that given by
Night Agent Barger Of the masked man
who robbed his drawer of about SIS March
IA, walked him down the track and gave
him back watch and a revolver that had
been taken with the money. Two brothers
named Schultz, who were hunting with
dog in Hatfield woods. near the Ontario &
Western railroad station in New Hartford,
to-day found pieces of the express money
envelopes taken from Messenger Lake, of
the West Shore road, last night. In his
haste the robber left pieces of bank notes
in the envelopes. District footprints of

reward and of punishment, of reward in

rate business was of too great benefit to
many railroad lines to be dropped in the

continue to pay commissions they would
pay salaries, and the ticket brokers would
be agents of the companies. TWAS not at
